"The result of almost a year of development by NVIDIA, Valve and other game developers, the new GeForce R310 drivers are designed to give GeForce customers the best possible Linux-based PC gaming experience - and showcase the enormous potential of the world's biggest open-source operating system." Like I said: something is happening here. No, not all problems will be solved overnight - but something is happening here, and you have to start somewhere. The fact that several gaming companies and NVIDIA are working together on this is a very clear sign that commitments have been made.

Oh for fuck's sake. It's not "being stubborn," it's "protecting the integrity of the kernel's license." As for NVIDIA, if they don't have the rights to make proper open drivers for their own goddamn hardware, that's their fault. Don't blame the kernel devs for this one.
